I got a reply to a web form asking for an update saying that now background checks are happening. Does this mean it is in the last stages of the process or just another step? Medicals have not been updated since Feb and nothing has changed on ECAS or GC KEY. Also applied for GCMS notes today.

exactly, I have been seeing the same since day 1. I don’t think it means you will get an interview. And that’s how it shows for most of the applicants as well until the application is finalized.

It says we will send you a message IF this chnages. There is a big IF in there. It might change for some and it might not. But again it doesn’t necessarily mean you will get an interview.
Actually this EYE WASH should not be there at all until interview is really NOT needed. Not u or me many applicants start jumping happily WOW no interview..

What does pre-arrival letter indicate?
There should be NO interview after one gets pre-arrival. Here is somethings about pre-arrival;-

You and your family can get free in-person and online services to help prepare for and adjust to life in Canada. We call these pre-arrival services.

Pre-arrival services can help you to:

  • prepare for your move to Canada
  • get your education, work experience and credentials recognized in Canada
  • connect with employers to find a job
  • connect with free services after you arrive in Canada

It is advisable to order notes only if one is sure of interview at the end stage. As it causes bit delay in the whole process..

GCMS notes do affect the processing time since we are only enquiring about it much like a webform enquiry.
